arduino nano explanation

Hi guys,
I found not very clear this sentence on the arduino nano reference page:

These pins support SPI communication, which, although provided by the underlying hardware, is not currently included in the Arduino language.

Can I use the SPI?
Thanks !

Really? I have used SPI on an Uno and it is the same chip... so try it. What version of Nano have you got?

All that means is that at the time that it was written, there wasn't a library which supported SPI on the Nano. I'm pretty sure that there is one now (haven't used a Nano for a while) but I know for sure that you can use SPI devices on a Nano - I've done it several times.

I got the 3.0 version of the nano, I know that is the same chip of the Uno, I ordered one , but in the uno this sentence is not in the reference documentation, I want to understand what this sentence involves in a clear way. How can I make an SPI communication by myself?

I'm using SPI on my Nano, so it does work.

Ian.

Which SPI device are you going to use?

I'm using Wiznet w5500 evaluation Board, the spi is not working also on arduino uno...no clue of what is happening, correctly wired, if I begin the spi communication it reset the chip (all ip, dns,gateway is set to 0)
